The government has changed from a monarchy to a democracy by order of a king who had ascended to the throne by succession. While the people have now attained the right to vote, the only candidates are the king's twenty-four sons, who will each serve for terms lasting two years. In the successive reign of each brother, oppressi on and injustice abound, and they spend their terms feasting, pillaging and plundering the country as much as possible, lining their pockets with enough cash to live out their days in luxury. Each time heading up to the new election, the people take refuge in their wishful thinking that the administration of the "next" prince will make things better. But things never change. The princes had all inherited their grandfather's first name, "Demo" as a prefix to their names. The king had named his twenty-fifth son who was lacking in both appearance, intelligence and character, Demo C'est Assez (meaning Demo "is enough") but this last prince became known among the people instead as Demo Crazy because of his devious mind and volatile behavior. In an effort to deny any of the twenty-four brothers a second chance at the throne, the people finally decide to vote for prince number twenty-five, Demo Crazy, who is in no way considered qualified for the position. The people actually do not believe that he will win, but they vote for him because they believe that he will most likely be the least brutal, and less of a tyrant than any of the other brothers. Demo Crazy forms a circle of cohorts and enacts h is own Demo Crazian principles which consist of a combination of oppression and deception of the masses. He embarks upon a mission to destroy the country, playing off his actions as a "service" to the people. As it turns out, he i s really in fact an enemy agent, who after ultimately fleeing his own country and ta king refuge in enemy lands, surrenders his nation to them. The behavior and documented speeches of Demo Crazy are truly astonishing, and even more unusual are the laws and regulations he exercised in ruling over his country. The question of whether or not the standard and conventional democracy in the world today is predicated upon the principles and methods that Demo Crazy carried out in this book is presented only as food for thought and not as a steadfast claim. The answer to this question will be left for the reader to decide.

THE ONE BOOK YOU NEED TO READ IN 2022. A WARNING TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS. Find out how Donald J. Trump used a dictator’s playbook in his efforts to turn our democracy into a totalitarian country – led by one man. This book explains why our democracy is still not safe. Brain-washing was developed in totalitarian countries, was used extensively by Hitler to convert a peaceful society into hateful, violent, ethnic-cleansing assassins. Putin lived and worked in Germany for many years as a Russian spy and learned brain-washing as well as other spying skills – how to hook or bribe unsuspected victims by using loans or favors. These same type of brain-washing techniques were surprisingly used by Trump in the United States by repeating hateful lies over and over. In the year 2020, violence and murders increased by 30% and there were over 7,700 hate crimes – more than ever before in the history of the U.S. No elected member of the Russian DUMA votes against President Putin because they fear for their lives or for their family’s wellbeing. The entire elected U.S. Senate Republicans from 2016 to 2020 agreed with former President Trump on all issues. This is a dictatorship and not a democracy when a leader rules a country by instilling fear in elected officials so they consistently do as he wishes. One U.S. Republican Senator who voted to impeach Trump now has 24-hour protection, fears for his family’s safety, and will not run for re-election – this comparison cannot be ignored. Trump sold his soul – and our country – to the devil when he did business with or borrowed money from a long list of ruthless Russian business men – who ALL work for Putin. It “appears” that his desperate need for money or his massive ignorance about business with Russians probably resulted in a very typical Russian spy trap. Trump was probably hooked and blackmailed - therefore he created the “big lie”, perhaps used a group called Psy-Group to secretly social market this disinformation, and then instigated an attack on our Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the 2020 election. He was desperate. The presidency and control of our democracy was potentially his one and only safety net. For almost twenty-five years, I lived and worked in the former Soviet Union, then Russia, Central Asia and a long list of other communist or dictatorship countries. I have firsthand experience with how Russia operates and their daily infiltration of the United States – who Putin blames for the downfall of the Soviet Union. The Cold War never ended in the mind of Vladimir Putin.

An incisive analysis of the connections between democracy and violence by acknowledged experts in the field. The connection between the two activities has often been largely ignored because of a widespread reluctance among democrats to consider the possibility that democratic forms perhaps encourage violence. This challenging volume opens up the debate.

The most recent wave of democratic revolutions has convinced many in the West of the triumph of political rights. But in this provocative book, Brian Grodsky argues forcefully that nothing could be further from the truth. Today’s revolutionaries—both democratic and non-democratic—are much like those who preceded them throughout history. They’ve all come into power promising enhanced political, but especially economic, rights: higher wages, better living standards, more security. The difference between today’s pro-democracy leaders and yesterday’s non-democratic ones, the author demonstrates, rests on the perceived international legitimacy of the democratic template. Now, when even the most abusive regimes feel the need to label themselves democracies, opponents delegitimize rulers by calling them undemocratic. This sets the stage for what Grodsky calls the “democratization disconnect.” Leaders and followers fight for political change not as an end, but as the most acceptable means to attain economic rights. But by selling democracy as a panacea for the ills of the preceding regime, new elites simultaneously cheapen the notion of democracy and, by creating unrealistic popular expectations, set it up for failure. Putting a fresh new spin on hotly debated current events, this clear-eyed and informed book will be essential reading for all politically engaged readers.

This book, first published in 1970, examines the thesis that demonstrations are becoming an integral an integral part of the democratic way of life. It analyses the conditions under which some demonstrations become violent and explores ways in which the incidence of such violence can be greatly reduced. It discusses the necessity for governmental responsiveness to legitimate, articulated needs; and looks at the degree of responsiveness required if demonstrations are to remain peaceful.

A thought-provoking history of communications that challenges ideas about freedom of speech and democracy. At the heart of democracy lies a contradiction that cannot be resolved, one that has affected free societies since their advent: Though freedom of speech and media has always been a necessary condition of democracy, that very freedom is also its greatest threat. When new forms of communication arrive, they often bolster the practices of democratic politics. But the more accessible the media of a society, the more susceptible that society is to demagoguery, distraction, and spectacle. Tracing the history of media disruption and the various responses to it over time, Zac Gershberg and Sean Illing reveal how these changes have challenged democracy—often with unsettling effects. The Paradox of Democracy captures the deep connection between communication and political culture, from the ancient art of rhetoric and the revolutionary role of newspapers to liberal broadcast media and the toxic misinformation of the digital public sphere. With clear-eyed analysis, Gershberg and Illing show that our contemporary debates over media, populism, and cancel culture are not too different from the democratic cultural experiences of the past. As we grapple with a fast-changing, hyper-digital world, they prove democracy is always perched precipitously on a razor’s edge, now as ever before.

When Radel resigned in 2014, he left with insider knowledge that remains unknown to most American citizens. Democrazy is Radel's candid account of the making of a modern political star and the inner workings of Congress.

Mass protest movements in disparate places such as Greece, Argentina, and the United States ultimately share an agenda—to raise the question of what democracy should mean. These horizontalist movements, including Occupy, exercise and claim participatory democracy as the ground of revolutionary social change today. Written by two international activist intellectuals and based on extensive interviews with movement participants in Spain, Venezuela, Argentina, across the United States, and elsewhere, this book is an expansive portrait of the assemblies, direct democracy forums, and organizational forms championed by the new movements, as well as an analytical history of direct and participatory democracy from ancient Athens to Zuccotti Park. The new movements put forward the idea that liberal democracy is not democratic, nor was it ever.
